And here is a close up so you can see how real the water droplets look!
Stamps: Designs by Ryn (water droplets), Hero Arts (you did it), Winnie & Walter (congrats)
Other: Inks (Distress Inks), Glossy Accents
I used one of my favorite techniques where you smoosh distress inks on your craft sheet, spritz them with water and then smoosh watercolor paper in it. Then I finally used those awesome water droplets from Design by Ryn . I just love them and think they look so realistic! Especially when you coat them with Glossy Accents! I saw them first on Cornelia's blog Stempelspass . She has made many fantastic cards with them! I thought they were a great symbol for all the hard work (and sweat) my niece did during her years of studying and writing her thesis.

This looks amazing, Susanne! So dimensional! I have got those raindrop stamps and don't use them nearly enough.
Wow, super toll gemacht!! Diese Tropfen stehen auch noch auf meiner Haben-Will-Liste ..*grins*. Durch den Streifen an der Seite schaut Deine Karte wie der Einband eines Buches aus!!

Boy we had to study this card to see how you did it. Once we saw the stamp we said aha! Great idea to cover the drops with Glossy Accents. Looks awesome.
What beautiful colours and I've never seen those water droplets thingy's before, how cool are they!!!!
coole Karte, die Tropfen sehen toll aus, der Hintergrund ist wieder super!
(Vielleicht hat die Azallee den falschen Boden? Da reagieren die glaube ich empfindlich drauf!)
Oh, this is so cool!
This card is beautiful Susanne. I have that Ryn stamp and love it. Been too long since it has been aired.
Congrats to your niece.

Super - so eine gute Idee fuer eine Graduation card! Herzlichen Glueckwunsch an Deine Nichte. Ist wohl ein schlaues Maedel! Danke fuer die Verlinkung. Wie gehts Deinem Daumen?
My dear friend, the week escaped me and here I am, late (apologies!), to say WOW - and another WOW from my mom, who's looking over my shoulder. Gorgeous smooshed background for those incredibly realistic raindrops. What a lovely card to send to your niece, to applaud her accomplishment. A Masters in Mathematics...impressive! Love this!!
